How Far Have Cartridges Really Come?

This video provides an expert-level explanation of Ballistic Coefficient (BC) from a seasoned firearms instructor. It details how BC affects bullet trajectory and wind drift, emphasizing its importance for long-range accuracy (500-1000 yards). The instructor also covers factors influencing BC like bullet mass and shape, and discusses the critical interplay between BC, bullet weight, and rifle twist rate, cautioning against manufacturers overstating BC values.

This guide details the process of truing ballistic data for extreme long-range shooting using the Gunwerks Endex rifle. It emphasizes the importance of real-world impact data to refine ballistic calculations via the Revic app, ensuring accuracy at distances exceeding 1500 yards. The video showcases precise execution by manufacturer experts, highlighting the rifle's performance and portability.

This guide details a technique for engaging targets at extreme long ranges, specifically 1500 yards, using a Gunwerks Endex rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC. It emphasizes the critical role of advanced optics with integrated ballistic software, the importance of environmental data, and the necessity of ballistic 'truing' for accuracy. The instruction comes from an expert with high authority, demonstrating precise long-range shooting and technical discussion of ballistics.

This video compares the 308 Winchester and 30-06 Springfield cartridges, focusing on their performance differences with varying bullet weights. The speaker, an experienced shooter, notes that the 30-06 gains a significant advantage with heavier bullets (180-200 grains) in terms of velocity and terminal performance, making it preferable for larger game like elk. For lighter bullets (125-150 grains), the performance gap narrows considerably, and the 308's shorter action and potentially lighter rifle may be advantageous in certain scenarios. The discussion also touches on recoil, action length, and aftermarket support.

This video reviews five World War II firearms, evaluating their suitability for survival scenarios. The instructor discusses the pros and cons of the German Luger, 1911, M1 Carbine, Mosin Nagant, and M1 Garand, ultimately recommending the M1 Carbine for its balance of capacity, accuracy, and portability.

This episode of the Backfire Accuracy Challenge pits a factory Tikka T3x against custom builds at ranges up to 1,000 yards. Matt's Tikka, upgraded with an MDT chassis and Nightforce scope, won the competition with 15 points, demonstrating the potential of a factory action. Competitors faced challenges with target acquisition and ballistic data at longer distances, highlighting the importance of precise setup and shooter skill.

This guide details the proper usage of the Axil GS Extreme 2.0 electronic earbuds for shooting. It emphasizes the importance of deep insertion, powering on before use, and critically, selecting the correct ear tips (foam for shooting) to ensure adequate hearing protection. The review highlights the comfort and performance of these earbuds, making them a primary choice for range activities.

This guide, drawing from an expert assessment by Jim from Backfire, details the features and use cases of three MDT bipods: the budget-friendly Oryx for hunting, the versatile GRND Pod for general shooting, and the premium Ckye-Pod for competition. It also provides a crucial overview of firearm mounting systems like Sling Swivel Studs, Arca, Picatinny, and M-LOK, with specific recommendations for magnum calibers.
